The Return of Japan Inc?

Japan's economy, a powerhouse during the roaring 1980s, has been in the dumps since 1989. Today, however, signs are starting to appear that the world's second-largest economy is waking up again.

The report also includes an excerpt from the book, "The Next Global Stage: Challenges and Opportunities in Our Borderless World," by Kenichi Ohmae.
